Peripentadenia is a genus of two species of large trees from the family Elaeocarpaceae endemic to the rainforests of northeastern Queensland, Australia.[2][3][4][5][6] Sometimes they have the common name quandong.[4][7]
Botanists have formally described two species, both endemic to restricted areas of the Wet Tropics rainforests of northeastern Queensland.[2][3][4][7][8]
Both species have official recognition of at risk of extinction in the wild.[9]
